Hi all!
This is my first post from my self-hosted Lemmy instance!
Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!
Hope you can see it, BTW :)
Heyo! I just set up a full suite of fediverse nonsense over at MakrArmy.io! Congrats!
Hear you loud and clear!
Confirmed, can see it from lemmy.today!
Congrats!
I hope it will be seen also from Lemmy.tomorrow! (Pun intended)
Spotted from feddit.ua!
Hi amico Ukrainian lemmer! Glad to see you here.
Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it’s not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!
I think my instance has been growing at about 30 GB a year. I think if you set it up to not rehost the pictures, you can keep the whole thing in the handful of GB range.
Oh thats a lot less than i had imagined actually and very neat that u can turn of re-hosting pictures! Putting this on my to-do list!
Shit just works as usual
Can confirm. I’d host my own, but I’m lazy and The Dude hasn’t given me a reason to.
Lemmynsfw here, we see you. Do you, errr, see us?
I do! I like your instance very much (i like all instances actually… but some how yours has that little extra spicy, ykwim)
Welcome, don’t forget to claim and tag yourself on fediseer. Make sure you provide the target instance to guarantee for you when soliciting a guarantee. They will get a PM ;)
will do immediately! Thanks!
Lemmy.cafe checking in
Cool! I am just having a coffee myself!
I can see you from Blahaj :3
Glad that works mate! I like you guys and the topics brought along by your instance.

Nice work, although for single user instances I would suggest using PieFed.
Care to elaborate? Interesting
I also started with Lemmy on a small VPS where I run a lot of other services for me and my family. Every update of Lemmy somehow needed more and more resources to run, so many in fact that it would overload my small VPS. I think it is because Lemmy is designed to be run for å huge amount of users, so it has quite a overhead at first just to be able to handle very many users later.
And because I didn’t want to upgrade my server and make it more expensive, I decided to try PieFed which has from the start been concentrating on having a small footprint on the server.
And that played off emensly, not only was I able to keep running on a small VPS for cheap, but I also found an amazingly open developer community around PieFed on Matrix.
Thank you, might take a look into it as well, but for the time being Lemmy seems to be working fine on my home server (not an underpowered VPS indeed, but not an enterprise-grade server either)
My instance of one now federates with your instance of one.
So it’s true after all that 1+1=11
Neat!
Any chance you could share some resources on how you did it? I’d kinda like to give it a try…
I will finish writing that on my wiki today at https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy
I think I love you.
If that would be so simple… Are you a billionaire? In that case, it would make things MUCH easier… :) Otherwise my wife might want a word…
congratulations!! greetings from shitjustworks
I simply.love your instance name… I couldn’t come with such a good one.
and it’s working fantastically, congratulations! I’ve been considering self-hosting for a while now but I’m afraid of the responsibility :P
For a very small instance, like one or two users, sohuldnt be a burden ask me Ina few months…
